Warramboo Bridge & tunnel Project

remote projecteXperIeNce

SRG were contracted to undertake the construction of a new bridge and concrete arch structure on the North West Coastal Highway at the Mesa A Mine Site, which is situated approximately 1,140km north of Perth in Western Australia.

Mobilising to this remote site required a great deal of organisation to ensure the works could commence on time. SRG’s experience in this field ensured the mobilisation was completed smoothly. Extra support from head office was utilised during the initial stages to ensure the project commenced as planned. Detailed and realistic programming of the works was essential for the success of this project.

Personnel from Perth and Sydney were utilised on a FIFO basis. The process to get personnel inducted and mobilised to site took approximately three weeks due to inductions, training, VOC’s etc. Managing a FIFO project in a mine site environment is extremely demanding.

Safety is always the number one priority for SRG. Site based inspections, ‘Take Five’s’ and a strong focus on the pre-starts and tool box talks, were all paramount on this site.

Numerous local suppliers were utilised from nearby Karratha for this project including personnel for scaffolding, specialist cutting and also crane hire.

location: MESA A Mine, Pannawonica, Western Australia

client: Rio Tinto Iron Ore

year: 2011 - 2012

scope: Construction of a new 3 span bridge and separate arch structure

5REMOTE PROJECTS CAPABILITY

Wellington Dam is located approximately 200kms south of Perth. SRG formed part of the Wellington Dam Alliance and completed the remedial works on this project to strengthen the existing concrete gravity structure with high capacity ground anchors. The anchors were up to 91 strands and equal the current world record capacity of 25,389kN (2,588t) breaking load. To accommodate access for long term monitoring an access bridge was constructed across the crest of the dam.

Site works were carried out from January 2009 until June 2011. SRG’s experienced team of Project Managers, Site Engineers, Superintendent and Leading Hands were all relocated to nearby Bunbury. SRG utilised some of their experienced labourers but also sourced local labour from nearby Bunbury to work on the project. Numerous local suppliers were also utilised for the project.

The Alliance was nominated for a Worksafe Safety Award for the engineering of a strand cutting module. A strong focus was placed on the site inductions and the philosophy of “working above the line” in relation to the hierarchy of control.

catagunya Dam restoration


Catagunya Dam is owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania and is located in central Tasmania, approximately 100 km’s northwest from Hobart.

The works incorporated 92 No. 91 strand vertical anchors up to 77.8m long, embedded up to 30m into hard dolerite rock below the dam. The 53 spillway anchors are located 8.5m below the crest on the 56 degree slope and the remaining 39 in the abutments.

The anchoring works commenced in January 2009 and were completed in June 2010. SRG’s experienced team of Project Managers, Site Engineers, Superintendent and Leading Hands were all relocated to New Norfolk, over an hours drive from site. SRG utilised some of their experienced labourers as well as locally sourced labour from the surrounding areas to work on the project. Numerous local suppliers were utilised for the project.

The Catagunya site team aimed to raise the bar from the high standard they had set at the previous dam project. The Catagunya team focused on the areas of skills and training of personnel.

Training was conducted during toolbox talks at regular intervals on site for all employees, covering each aspect of the project from mobilisation, fabrication, installation, stressing, grouting, demobilisation and first aid.

The site team also created a safe system of racking inside the shipping containers, ensuring that each piece of equipment was secured and could not move during transportation. This reduced the hazard of equipment damage and streamlined the mobilisation process, as each item was easily removed without the risk of injuries to employees.

location: Central Tasmania

client: Hydro Tasmania

year: 2009 - 2010

scope: Manufacture and installation of the world’s highest capacity ground anchors, with breaking loads exceeding 25,389kN (2,588t)

SRG were engaged to provide heavy lifting services for the erection of a Prilling Skirt as part of the construction of a new ammonium nitrate plant. The new plant is part of an expansion program by asset owner Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific and is located in Moranbah Queensland, which is inland between Rockhampton and Mackay in northern Queensland.

The project’s construction team, an Alliance Joint Venture between United Group Ltd, Bilfinger Berger Services and BGC Contracting, planned the construction of the tower and skirt utilising the SRG’s strand lifting technology.

The complex lifting and Prill Skirt assembly process was completed over a period of approximately four months and deemed a highly successful operation, with the project’s Construction Superintendent Mr John Roberts commenting “I want to thank you (SRG) for your help and input with the planning of the Prill

Skirt assembly into the Prill Tower. This was a very complex and critical part of our project. It was essential that the erection of the skirt was completed without delays, with no safety concerns and that the 160 tonnes of suspended material was fully controlled at all times, with a large safety factor allowed for on all the lifting and lowering procedures. ..... it has been a very successful operation for the project and we will use SRG again in future when the need arises.”

roseires Dam Heightening Project


Roseires Dam is in the Republic of Sudan, in the Blue Nile State on the Blue Nile River, near the town of Ad Damazin, 550km south east of Khartoum, seven hours by car.

The upgrade heightened the dam by 10 metres which stretches the embankments by a total of 11.6km. On completion the dam capacity has increased from 3.0 billion cubic metres to 7.40 billion cubic metres.

SRG were subcontracted by a Chinese Joint Venture, CCMDJV, to supply and install the dam anchors for the project.

With the dam height raised from 68 to 78 metres and the spillway buttress widened, anchors were installed to strengthen the dam so that it can cope with the additional load due to increased dam capacity.

SRG mobilised their project team as well as all equipment required to perform the works within one month. The crew was made up of Project Management, Engineers

and Supervisors from the Australian operations, post-tensioning technicians from SRG’s Middle East branch as well as local Sudanese labourers.

Undaunted by the remoteness and political instability, the site team worked an eight week on, two week off roster over seven months in a testing environment to deliver another successful project for SRG.

location: Ad Damazin, Republic of Sudan

client: Republic of Sudan Dams Implementation Unit

SRG were contracted to strengthen four bridges (Beebingarra, Petemarer, Tabba Tabba and Pardoo Creeks) on the Great Northern Highway, up to 110km north of Port Hedland.

The bridges range from 64.5m to 102m in length and are approximately 40 years old. The bridges were showing signs of fatigue cracking and failed approach slabs due to the high proportion of road trains and oversized loads using the bridges.

They were completed one-half at a time to allow the traffic to continue to travel on the major highway during the construction period. Challenges faced included the management of the heavy/oversized traffic on site, tropical cyclones, availability and management of subcontractors in a remote location, significant concrete logistical challenges (large deck pours were poured at night with large travel times) and an over friendly local fly population.

The nine month project commenced in July 2013 and was completed one month ahead of schedule.

location: Pilbara, Western Australia


year: 2013-2014

scope: Bridge strengthening; concrete deck overlay (250mm), new approach slabs, expansion joints, guardrail and earthworks to tie the existing road surface in with the raised bridge level.

Pilbara Bridges


mid-West Bridge


SRG were engaged by Main Roads Western Australia to refurbish four bridges for safety and maintenance cost reasons. These were located in close proximity to the townships of Geraldton, Coorow and Eneabba in the Mid West region.

The existing guardrail was upgraded and significantly extended with X Tension 350 end terminals installed to provide impact protection to the public. Abutment extensions were added to accommodate the new approach slabs. These were installed to ensure a smooth transition onto the bridges and to save significant costs in maintaining these approaches.

The two bridges near Eneabba were located on the busy Northwest Coastal Highway (NWCH) and had to be

installed in halves, with a temporary steel safety barrier used to provide protection to the public and workers on site.

location: Mid West Region Western Australia


year: 2013

scope: Bridge refurbishment, new abutments, approach slabs and guardrail replacement
